First, ensure you have a bad debt expense account set up in your general ledger. I demonstrate how to find the relevant customer invoices and how to record the write-off, which will clear the accounts receivable and reflect the expense on your income statement. Remember, instead of depositing the payment into your bank account, you&apos;ll be writing it off directly to your bad debt expense. Please make sure to follow these steps for any invoices you need to write off.</description></oembed>
